After 2.3 update I can't get 3G to come on or stay one. Any suggestions ?

I noticed that since the 2.3 update that I can't seem to get 3G to activate. I do have data roaming on.

Sometimes when I turn off wifi the 3G symbol flashes, but it goes away quickly.

This happens regardless of location, but I am testing it at home where I did have 3G coverage in the past. So I expect it to work.

Any suggestions?

thx

Power off and power on allowed me to do *228 - 1 and 2. Will see how it goes from here.

thx for both suggestions

Did you try dialing *228 and option #2 ??

I would do option 1 before option 2. Just to make sure the phone is programmed correctly.

This is stupid.

I did the *228 - 2 option a few days ago without an issues. Now when I try *228 it fails to dial and tells me to contact customer service. Hard to do without a working phone.

**bleep** at VZ and Moto need to do a better job with software updates. Between these issues and the new data plans i will be willing to go elsewhere when the contact is up.

Going to reboot phone and see if that helps.

wow - guess VZ has some auto-censor software going for all posts and you get "**bleep** " if you offend them. lol

Glad that worked ... let us know how it goes and if that solved your issue.

Found this over on the Droid X forums, it's something I've never heard of needing to be fixed, but apparently it works for some users.

I hope it's not a violation to post that.
